right now its looking like i might not make it. i might be in Hawaii for 2 weeks during that time. (job obligations). the only bright side of missing it is that its a $100 a day per diem. im really hoping to make it though.

lol i was waiting for that question, i get it often. i just never learned to drive stick and never really had a desire to learn. my dad drove stick when i was younger but my mom didnt know how to drive so she didnt want him to buy them just in case she needed to drive his car for whatever reason. im sure if he still had one growing up i would have learned.

Three Wheelin'
Still one of my all-time favorite automobiles. I love the additions and especially agree with the steering wheel.
I echo the on the auto, although I understand your reasoning. The problem with 90s automatics is that in this case, it's a 4-speed, and you're already 18hp behind a base manual (252hp versus 270hp). So you basically mod just to get to base manual ratings. But with the lethargic 4-speed slushboxes, you're still not on par in performance.
I noticed you mentioned S/C, you'll really need to think about beefing up your tranny.
BUT, it looks like a million

I'm not really super concerned with crazy hp or performance that's not why I bought the car. So I'm not trying to catch up with what the manual has. I've just really been a fan of the car for as long as I could remember. My CL was a S/C auto and I loved it. I'm not even thinking about boost right now. Plenty of other things I'm working on now.
